thehollywoodnews.com:

Porno review: A closed movie theatre is the setting for first time feature director Keola Racela, a film that is not quite as sexy as the title may suggest.PornoThe year is 1992 and Chaz (Jillian Mueller), Todd (Larry Saperstein), Abe (Evan Daves), Ricky (Glenn Scott) and Heavy Metal Jeff (Robbie Tann), spend their days working at a local cinema in a heavily Christian town.

Left alone to close the theatre after watching a movie of their choosing, the group stumbles across a hidden room. The room is full to bursting with items that point to a past life as an adult movie theatre for the cinema.

After discovering a reel of film, and not being able to decide between a staff viewing of either A League of Their Own or Encino Man, they decide to give the mystery film a whirl.

It’s much more than a movie though; by playing it they accidentally unleash a trapped sex demon, Lilith (Katelyn Pearce). As the night progresses, each member of the group finds themselves tempted by their ultimate desires, if they give in and succumb they risk losing their lives.As an ex-cinema employee myself, there’s a lot of nostalgia when viewing a film set entirely in a movie theatre.
